Washing your hair during menstruation may aggravate menstrual cramps

During menstruation, women's body functions are at their most vulnerable, so it is best to adjust your diet and lifestyle during menstruation. Women who love cleanliness do not shy away from taking a bath or washing their hair even during menstruation, but they do not know that this seemingly clean behavior poses a threat to health. Washing hair during menstruation will not only aggravate dysmenorrhea, but also lead to serious problems such as hair loss.

In the folk, some old people always warn the younger generation not to wash their hair during menstruation. The reason is that experience tells them that women's physical condition is not as good as usual during menstruation. Washing hair during menstruation can easily lead to hair loss problems, and in severe cases, it can also cause dysmenorrhea or aggravate the symptoms of dysmenorrhea.

Don't think this is just a superstition of the older generation. Contemporary research also tells us that washing hair during menstruation does cause considerable harm to women. Chinese medicine believes that the head is the head of the six yang meridians, and the female uterus is the starting point of the Ren Meridian. During menstruation, the blood circulation of women's bodies will deteriorate. Washing hair during menstruation will cause the blood in the body to concentrate in the head, while the blood circulation in the uterus will become obstructed, which can easily lead to symptoms such as dysmenorrhea and reduced menstrual blood.

If you wash your hair at night and go to sleep before your hair is dry, this will reduce your body's metabolism and immunity. In addition, do not go out immediately after washing your hair. If you need to go out, wear a hat to prevent your head from being exposed to cold and causing headaches. Women who need to wash their hair during menstruation should not only wash it during the day, but also avoid washing it on the first and second days of menstruation, and wait until the third day or later.
